Towering Twins

Together they stood proud
above all others
sharing the same roots,
attracting the rich and the clever –
today’s pilgrims
hungering a magical touch.
Wrapped in perfect skies
the world turned at their feet.

In the end they fell together each by a silver bullet. Their dust rushed down the avenues clogged the believer’s mouths aghast that such hatred could reach this sanctum – bring down the dream.
